Rental management doesn't happen in isolation. When someone checks out equipment, your logistics team needs to know. When a rental goes overdue, maybe your accounting system should flag the deposit. When a new renter signs up, perhaps your CRM should get updated.

Most rental tools treat these connections as "nice-to-have" or require expensive enterprise plans to access. In Stockaj, webhooks are available on the Professional plan — and they're powerful enough to replace custom middleware.

This guide covers what webhooks are, how to set them up, and five real automations that teams are using to eliminate manual handoffs.
